Confidence is sexy. That’s what ‘Sports Illustrated Swim’ stands for. They have this movement where you can just be beautiful no matter what shape, what size, your height, your body type, your ethnicity.
I was a child who was interested in sports, and represented my school in football, cricket, badminton and table tennis.
I’m not coming in as an advocate of sports gambling. I’m trying to be more of a realist to say it’s going on in a massive way… and I think the right course would be therefore to legalize it and regulate it.
I always wanted to be a sports broadcaster.
We’ve just got to be careful – with all sports, let alone cricket – I think there’s so much emphasis on doing the right thing all the time, but I think the public want to be entertained when they come to watch sport.
Compared to politics, I think sports is funnier, because it’s inconsequential. And politics can be real important and all that. The more pointless something is, the funnier it is, you know?
I like the order and simplicity of sports. They have an ending. You can argue with your friends about it, but in the end, you still like sports. I almost love the fantasy world of sports more than the real world.
If you’re a sports fan you realize that when you meet somebody, like a girlfriend, they kind of have to root for your team. They don’t have a choice.
I played a ton of team sports growing up, and team wins are just incredibly gratifying.
If you are humble, your concentration will be very high. That’s the way to go in sports.
The bottom line is what we do might not be the safest so there is always some risk but we are ready to take that into account because we love racing and we love motor sports and it is dangerous.
I think our existence in professional sports is almost a protest in and of itself in sometimes the very sexist society that we live in. For us, it’s just kind of right in line with what we always do.
I really liked sports and athletic stuff, but I was a total nerd.
Cooking is a great leveller. You can be a sports star, an actor, an entrepreneur, anything, but cooking strips it all away.
When Michael Jordan quit, I suddenly found myself without a sports hero.
For many sports fans, the onset of fall only means one thing: It’s football season!
We wanted Nike to be the world’s best sports and fitness company. Once you say that, you have a focus. You don’t end up making wing tips or sponsoring the next Rolling Stones world tour.
I hate all sports as rabidly as a person who likes sports hates common sense.
In sports, especially skiing, you have to be comfortable with risk. You have to have a relationship with fear, and it can’t dominate the decision-making process.
I’m a runner from sports. I’ve been a runner, but I wasn’t a cross-country runner or anything like that. I played a lot of soccer growing up.
Belarus is not a superpower, but we pay a lot of attention to sports.
When I’m directing actors, I often find myself slipping in sports metaphors, like: ‘Don’t go for the punch line here, just put it up on a T-ball stand so she can hit it out of the park.’
The Tour de France would make a great movie. Drugs, corruption, political chicanery, guys risking their lives – everything you need for a great sports drama.
A geek isn’t the skinny kid with a pocket protector and acne. There can be computer geeks, video game geeks, car geeks, military geeks, and sports geeks. Being a geek just means that you’re passionate about something.
I like a lot of sports. Especially football – it’s my favourite sport. My uncle played football in Barcelona for nine years and played for Spain in three World Cups.
